Crafting Rifts

I don't know how they work, but I've got two lures burning a hole in my pocket. I understand that anyone participating gets loot, so it seems to me we should knock these things out in raid-sized groups.

Interested? Suggestions?

I've gone through two lures so far, with a third one now in my bank vault. They are best done in Stillmoore or Shimmering Sands (since the zone they are opened in affects the level of the loot) and they're a blast to do in raid groups. The first time I did it with one raid group, the second time we used multiple lures as part of the rift hunt in stillmoore.

I've got a lure ready and should be able to do my weekly just as soon as I have an internet connection. I would be happy to join a raid somebody else is putting together but am not at all interested in running one myself.

If we have enough lures and Master crafters, maybe this is something worth adding to the schedule. We can treat it like the Expert Rift missions, wherein those with lures are the first in the group, and the rest of the Raid is filled out with anyone else.

I love the idea of scheduling crafting rifts! I can make runecrafter rift lures and would love to share in the loot. :)

I would be very interested in joining up for craft rifts. it is the only way I can get a catalyst. my crafted however is barely 20 although she has two lures . I'm sure she could be escorted to open a rift, but do you think she could get enough contribution to get loot? she is a cleric . would healing be enough. also, if she opens some could Treaa then finish up any other rifts Treaa Irie

Have done these in groups and raids there is the following to consider: You want a 50 lvl rift. This give the high end loot, such as Minor Catalyst, eternal planar dust and so forth. Major rifts give more loot than minors, but are very hard to find. A raid that is at least 1/2 full will close a minor rift in about 3 minutes. a major in about 6. Everyone has to stay togather and move as quickly as possible. this is because there is alot of competition for rifts, and you will have others opening or closing them if you have to wait alot. Everyone who participates in a crafting rift gets the loot, not just the opening group/raid. In Stillmore, it is usually better to wait for a rift in the western and southwestern area instead of running to the rifts in the north or south due to distance and difficulty to reach. Sometimes this is not true if multiples spawn in those areas. Crafting lures will not work on raid rifts.
